my mechanic says it is about 12 hours work. at $60/hr, that's $720 labor.

From what I was told by the folks that have already done
that IP headswap said it takes about 12-14 hours of labor.
When labor is a concern it starts to get costly!

heads, intake, port/polish, cams, valvetrain, and long tubes are going end up costing me much more than the labor.

i'm at $900 so far and all i have so far are the heads and cams!

I was told $1500 by my mechanic. Needless to say, I'm doing my headswap on my own right now. It'll be finished today
